System and Method for Automatically Rendering Labeling Service Prints with Print Engine Parameters

1. A method for automatically rendering labeling service prints, said method comprising: configuring an auto-labeling application in association with a print engine controller in order to label a service print with a print service label wherein said print service label comprises at least one print engine parameter and said print service label is printed via a marker associated with a fault multi-function device; customizing said service print label in a modular format utilizing a setup routine configured with said auto-labeling application in order to thereafter append said at least one print engine parameter with respect to said service print label based on information required to troubleshoot said fault multi-function device; and labeling said service print with said at least one print engine parameter via a portable inline marker separately attached to a baffle assembly of said fault multi-function device.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising labeling said service print with said print service label comprising said at least one print engine parameter with a built-in marker associated with said fault multifunction device.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising configuring said module to comprise at least one of the following types of shapes: a square module; and an L-shaped module.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising representing said at least one print engine parameter as a bar code with respect to said service print label and representing said at least one print engine parameter in a human readable format with respect to said service print label.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising configuring said service print label to include a plurality of subsystem set points that are critical to troubleshooting where said plurality of subsystem set points comprise: paper path set points, transfer set points, and fusing set points.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising setting said service print label as default in a diagnostic mode and available in an operating mode.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising: separately attaching said portable inline marker to said baffle assembly located at or proximate to a paper path of said fault multi-function device; and integrating said portable in-line marker with said print engine controller via a connector to receive said at least one print engine parameter from said controller.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising connecting said portable in-line marker with said baffle in a quick connect fashion.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising locating said baffle assembly next to an output unit of said multi-function device in order to provide a cost-effective sharing of said portable in-line marker among a plurality of multi-function devices.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising transmitting said at least one parameters with respect to said portable marker utilizing said setup routine configured in association with said auto-labeling application.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein said connector comprises a wired connection.

12. The method of claim 7 wherein said connector comprises a wireless connection.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein said portable inline marker comprises a print head.

14. A system for automatically rendering labeling service prints, said system comprising: a processor; a data bus coupled to said processor; and a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, said computer-usable medium being coupled to said data bus, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for: configuring an auto-labeling application in association with a print engine controller in order to label a service print with a print service label wherein said print service label comprises at least one print engine parameter and said print service label is printed via a marker associated with a fault multi-function device; customizing said service print label in a modular format utilizing a setup routine configured with said auto-labeling application in order to thereafter append said at least one print engine parameter with respect to said service print label based on information required to troubleshoot said fault multi-function device; and labeling said service print with said at least one print engine parameter via a portable inline marker separately attached to a baffle assembly of said fault multi-function device.
